About the Game

No Way Home is a twin-stick shooter adventure set in a hostile far flung part of the universe filled with danger at every turn. Outgun enemies in tense skirmishes, take on dangerous mercenary missions, loot bigger and better weapons, and explore a huge starmap in search of answers and a way home.

[Note: the game has nothing to do with a certain superhero movie. We had the name first!]

Gameplay

  • Fast-paced twin stick combat in large open environments

  • Chaotic and sprawling firefights require tactical use of cover, positioning, and timing

  • A regenerating shield allows a buffer to get in the fray, trade hits, and move around the environment strategically

  • Loot new weapons and ship components as random drops from encounters, creating your own build and play-style over time

  • Procedural world generation with hand-crafted encounters throughout

  • No permadeath, classic adventure format with zone respawning

  • Quick-loop arcade modes to unlock

From the team that brought you Moving Out 1 & 2, Death Squared, Thumb Drift and One More Line, RISK: Global Domination and many others.
